Geostationary extReme UltraViolet Imager (GRUVI), Instrument Request for Information

Qué solicita el órgano de contratación

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. This RFI seeks information from industry regarding capabilities, interest, and options for providing a solar observing Space Weather (SW) Next Geostationary extReme UltraViolet Imager (GRUVI) Instrument for a future operational NOAA Space weather mission that can resolve solar features, including coronal holes, filaments and prominences, active regions, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and X10 Class solar flares which will be used by the National Weather Service and the NOAA Space Weather Predication Center to generate and provide Space Weather forecasts and alerts. Solar GRUVI imagery will provide comprehensive situational awareness of the inner solar corona. Although there is no requirement for the number of GRUVI spectral bands, bands will be selected that are sensitive to different plasma temperatures within the range specified for feature and phenomenological discrimination. It is anticipated that at the conclusion of this Phase A study any industry partner will be prepared to enter directly into a System Requirements Review (SRR), approximately one month after Implementation contract award, followed by a Preliminary Design Review (PDR). The capabilities required to perform this Phase A Study for the GRUVI instrument are not currently within the NASA/NOAA workforce, thus the government requires contractor support to perform this study. It is the plan that in the future the capabilities being sought by the RFI will be identified in house, which would allow the government to leverage using our own work force. In addition this RFI will allow the Government to assess contractor capability to manufacture the GRUVI instrument. The Government anticipates multiple awards for the Formulation/Risk reduction phase of the contract. Further, since this is planned to be a fixed price contract the government may authorize the use of priced, or unpriced option to add additional scope or extend the period of performance should the RFI result in the formation of the contract for the GRUVI instrument. The only unique attribute is that the Government will consider a pre-priced option proposed by a contractor to retire additional implementation risk. All responses, comments and/or questions shall be submitted electronically via email to Kelly Lytton at kelly.r.lytton@nasa.gov no later than 5:00pm EDT December 3, 2026.
